Chapter 72

After breakfast, Anu asked people to remove the bowls and chopsticks from the table, and as soon as they put on hot tea, Li Chengmu walked in from the outside.

After greeting a few people, he happily said to Xia Jing: "Mother, the shopkeeper of the grain store in Lu County knew that we had shipped a lot of sesame seeds, so he sent someone to ask, do you want to sell the sesame seeds? He reported the price." The price has doubled from what we paid for it at the time.”

Xia Jing pursed her lips and smiled, with joy in her eyes, "Since you have money to make, sell it to him. After you sell it, ask Ding Dazhuang to go and see what specialties Lu County has, and buy some to fill up the original carriage, maybe it will arrive later." In the next town, these materials are in high demand again."

"Okay, my son will arrange it now." Li Chengmu seemed to have found a little bit of fun in the journey.

When Li Chengmu left, King Qian was not happy, "You are trying to spoil Xiao Wu, the fifth master of his dignified prince's mansion, but you have taught him some thoughts of mercenary and speculation. This king sees that he has already put his family to death. Forget about national feelings, and do something to fight for the interests of the people!"

Xia Jing's face darkened, "Do you want him to be full of words, or to be like you, who doesn't care about childbirth, but only knows how to be addicted to women?"

When King Qian heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he sternly reprimanded: "Nonsense! This king is a dignified first-rank prince, not only rich in the world, but at least rich in one county and one county. There are countless capable people under his command. I still need to worry about these things? As for women, Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, this is worth your fuss, and you can do some ridiculous things that jealousy can do!"

Xia Jing fell on her back in anger, when did she become a jealous woman?Does he need her to be jealous like a fat pig?
If they were beaten with a stick last time, it was because they hated him for slowing down the team, and they had no intention of letting him play with women.

She laughed back angrily, with sarcasm in her eyes, "Okay, you are the prince, you are amazing, I hope you can still laugh and be so rich later!"

Damn scumbag!
Gyeonggi has abolished [-]% of the property of the Wangfu, and lost the previous income. She wants to see how long King Qian can hold it?
At that time, we will see how he supports his guard camp and several sons and grandchildren.

Without money, she wanted to see if he could still afford a beauty?

When he arrived in Lingnan, he had to use money everywhere. Fortunately, he had a good housekeeper, otherwise, the mess of the palace would have been paralyzed long ago.

How can he be a domineering here today!
"Sister, don't worry too much. The prince grew up in a pile of brocades. When did he worry about making a living? According to my concubine, the wealth accumulated by the palace for decades is enough for us to spend even if we don't do anything in Lingnan." It’s been sold for a few lifetimes.”

Aunt Sun sat beside her and couldn't help but speak. In fact, she didn't understand the financial situation of the palace, she just wanted to make things difficult for Xia Jing.

A sneer leaked from the corner of Xia Jing's mouth, she was too lazy to argue with a stupid woman who knew how to eat jealous and steal men all day long.

King Qian frowned, "Could it be that Zeng Yan is hiding something from me?"

Xia Jing couldn't help but sneered, "The prince has never cared about the financial situation of the palace, and there is no such thing as concealing or not."

King Qian: "."

Did he justify the reputation that the Xia family placed on his head at the beginning?

In the good time early in the morning, Xia Jing was too lazy to talk to them, she stood up and stretched her skirt, and said to her two maidservants: "Go and pack your things and put them in the carriage, we are ready to go."

Hongmei hesitated for a moment, "Princess, fifth master just went to do business, so we don't have to wait for him?"

Xia Jing walked out without any hesitation, "No need, there are so many people in our team that it is easy to delay the time. When we are ready to leave outside the South City Gate, he may also arrive."

"That's right!" Hongmei nodded, and followed Baimei into the room on the right.

As soon as the master and servant left, Aunt Sun stared at King Qian and called out cautiously, "My lord."

King Qian waved his hands impatiently, "Go get ready, and leave the city later."

"it is good."

The prince and concubine are at odds, and the happiest person is none other than Aunt Sun.

Although King Qian was lustful, he generally would not bring women into the mansion. If he brought them back, they would basically be women who were qualified to bear children for him.

So up to now, there is only one concubine and two concubines in the mansion.

The team left Lu County and headed south all the way. When they had a break at noon, a guard came to report and someone asked to see him.

Xia Jing was sitting under the big tree, enjoying the breeze blowing on her face, when she heard that someone asked to see her, she couldn't remember who she was acquainted with at the moment.

"Who wants to see me?"

The guard bowed his head and reported: "She claimed to be the Mou Wu family of Runan, and said she knew you since childhood."

"Mou Wu?"

Xia Jing has a headache. In ancient times, this was very troublesome. When a married woman introduces herself to others, she always calls herself a certain surname, and must add her husband's surname and her own surname in front.

A married woman doesn't even deserve to have a name.

"Princess, don't you know this Mou Wu family?" Hongmei brought over the herbal tea and pastries prepared in the morning.

Xia Jing shook her head, "I have known so many people since childhood, who can remember them all? I will know who they are when we meet."

As she spoke, she ordered the guards, "Go and bring the man over."

The guards took orders.

While fanning the wind for her, Hongmei looked curiously at the direction where the guards left, "Princess, are we still eating pancakes and porridge at noon?"

Ever since she got rice in Jingzhou, Xia Jing fell in love with rice and porridge.

The most important thing is that before I arrived in Jingzhou, I ate pancakes and multi-grain porridge. I was tired of eating these and wanted to change the taste.

Moreover, pancakes in this era are dead dough pancakes, without fermentation technology, and without other cooking techniques, it is impossible to want to eat delicious, it can only be said that it is no problem to fill the stomach.

"Let Baimei pull some wild onions on the side of the road and boil egg soup." Xia Jing looked up at the cloudless blue sky, and sighed slightly, "It's too hot, making pancakes with egg soup should taste good."

Baimei, who was squatting not far away to build a simple stove, heard this, and responded with a smile: "Then do as you said, princess, the wild onions are still very tender now, and the soup with eggs must be delicious."

Xia Jing laughed after thinking about the taste, "Well, we'll try your handicraft later."

While the master and servant were talking, the guards came over with two women in skirts.

When I got closer, I realized that one of them was still a girl, and the two should be a mother-daughter relationship.

"The woman Mou Wu and the youngest daughter Guangzhen have seen the concubine."

The woman led the girl and bowed down to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing glanced at the woman, she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw her?
She raised her hand and said politely: "You don't need to be too polite, please hurry up, both of you."

The woman pulled her daughter to stand up, and looked at Xia Jing happily: "Princess, do you still remember the women?"

"You are."

"Wu Yuli, a folk woman, before we got married, we often met to go shopping together."

Xia Jing looked at the woman in front of her, and then searched for her memories from her memory, and suddenly said: "So it's you, I really didn't recognize you if you don't tell me, you have changed too much these years, if you meet on the street , I really dare not admit it."
